Zeng Yi sent the Koreans away very politely, and went straight to the Northern Army camp. When Zeng Yi saw the energetic soldiers in the Northern camp, he knew that the Northern Army had returned to its best condition and that they were fully ready.
Preparations for another war.
The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army has actually been paying attention to the movements of the Japanese pirate army in Seoul Island these past few days. After all, the Northern Army also lost about a thousand people, so it cannot be without some effect. Seeing Zeng Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army said very politely: "
Welcome, Mr. Ni, I wonder how the Japanese pirates on the front line are doing now?"
"General, although you are relieved, although there have been some accidents, thanks to the efforts of our own army, the main force of the Japanese pirates, Tachibana Munemoge has been defeated by our army. At this time, the island nation has completely lost its morale.
People's hearts are at a loss! In my opinion, this is the right time to launch an attack, and it's best to come at the right time!"
Hearing Zeng Yi's words, a smile appeared on the face of the Northern Army General, "Thank you for your hard work, Sir! Our Northern Army has made complete preparations. Soon we will cross the line and start a decisive battle with the Japanese pirates!"
Soon, the Northern Army set off. The King of Korea was so happy when he saw the Northern Army setting off, that he even said goodbye to the Northern Army in person. The Northern Army had more than 80,000 people, and they also carried siege equipment. They were not fast, and they also
It was so large that it could not escape the eyes of Japanese pirates. Shortly after the Northern Army set off, Ukita Hideie received the news.
To be honest, after hearing the news, Ukita Hideie was extremely angry, but also a little helpless. The number of Japanese pirates was not large, but the morale of the army was weak. Under such circumstances, to deal with the northern army of more than 80,000 elites, Ukita Hideie gave birth to a child for the first time.
Feeling a little powerless.
However, in the absence of power, the Ukita Hide family had to do a good job in response. It was impossible for a hundred thousand troops to surrender just like that. After the northern army set off, the Japanese pirates also began to mobilize their troops. A hundred thousand troops were deployed in Seoul and nearby areas.
In the Acropolis.
The main force of the Northern Army went straight to Seoul. Ukita Hideie also made some efforts, sending Japanese pirate ninjas to harass the Northern Army on the way. They even sent out Jonin again to assassinate the Northern Army general. However, the Northern Army was usually attacked once.
The general was not unprepared, but the result was that the Japanese pirates ended in failure.
The Japanese ninjas did cause some trouble to the Northern Army, but these small troubles only delayed the Northern Army's pace at most. Other than that, they did not cause any harm to the Northern Army at all.
Finally, on the third day of the Northern Army's departure, 80,000 troops marched dozens of miles away from Seoul. In order to defend Seoul, the Japanese pirates made preparations early and captured so many Korean laborers just to build fortifications. The islanders
In addition to strengthening the fortifications of Seoul, many military fortresses were also built around Seoul.
These fortresses were very strong, but the islanders underestimated the siege equipment carried by the northern army. With the help of those siege equipment, the northern army broke through several Japanese fortresses in one day and quickly reached Seoul.
Under the city.
Under the walls of Seoul, the northern army tentatively launched a wave of offensive. Archers provided cover, siege equipment fired fire, and thousands of infantry rushed towards us. Perhaps the islanders also knew that they were in a desperate situation, and miraculously restored some morale.
Successfully repelled the exploratory attack of the northern army.
On the day of the battle, the Northern Army caused huge damage to the Japanese pirates. However, the Northern Army's own casualties also began to increase sharply, especially the tentative attack of thousands of infantry. Less than half of the troops fell on the battlefield. Such casualties and
Compared with the Japanese pirates, they were naturally few, but compared to the Northern Army itself, these were already huge casualties.
That night, the generals of the Northern Army refused and discussed the next tactics. Zeng Yi, as the head of the intelligence department, was also among them.
"Now they have reached the vicinity of Seoul, but the Japanese pirates are obviously going to fight stubbornly. What do you think about the next battle plan?" the northern army general said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man stood up and said, "The casualties are too great. You have also seen the exploratory attack during the day. Although we fight hard, we are sure to win Seoul, but we will definitely pay a high price!"
"The sudden outbreak of such combat power from the island country is a bit beyond our expectations. No one could have imagined that at the last moment, the Japanese pirates could recover some morale in despair!" Another officer glanced at Zeng Yi after finishing speaking.
Obviously there was some suspicion that Zeng Yi and the others had gotten the information wrong.
Zeng Yi stood up immediately: "There is absolutely no problem with the intelligence. The Japanese pirates did have a low morale before, and it can even be said that the morale of the army was disorganized. As for the island country's recovery of morale in a desperate situation... everyone knows that they will die and survive."
Everyone talked a lot, but no one had an accurate answer. At this time, someone said, "If we can lower the morale of the Japanese pirates, this war will be easier to fight!"
"Destroying morale?" The northern army general lowered his head and thought for a moment. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked Zeng Yi: "Mr. Ni, I wonder if you know where the food and grass for the Japanese pirate army are stored?"
"Grain and grass!" Zeng Yi reacted instantly and said immediately: "Most of the Japanese pirates' grain and grass are concentrated in Longshan near Seoul, where a large amount of grain and grass collected by the Japanese pirates is stored, and the Japanese pirates' ten thousand troops are stationed there!"
"Longshan!" Those Northern Army bosses immediately lay down on the map to study, "This is also a fortress, and there are tens of thousands of defenders. In addition, it is very close to Seoul. If anything happens, the Japanese pirates in Seoul will
But support is always available!"
"How many thousands of people do you have, how confident are you that you can capture Longshan?" the Northern Army general looked at one of the senior officers and asked.
"Such a fortress has 10,000 defenders. If you give me 30,000 troops, I can definitely capture Longshan!"
"Thirty thousand! Okay, I'll give you 30,000 horses. We must capture Long Shancheng!"
The next day, the Northern Army launched a very strong offensive from the beginning. The Japanese pirates tried their best to resist, but they did not realize that 30,000 people among the main force of the Northern Army had mysteriously disappeared. These people were naturally sent to attack Longshan.
people.
The Longshan Fortress is very strong, which is why the Japanese pirate army will store most of its food and grass in Longshan. The Northern Army's 30,000-strong army went straight to Longshan. The Longshan defenders soon discovered the Northern Army, but the Northern Army was three times more powerful.
With them, the Yongshan garrison discovered the 30,000-strong northern army, but there was nothing they could do. Even the route back to Seoul for help was stranded. (To be continued)
